Read @rich_greenwald on @JDVance in @americamag 'Communion names the one thing the book cannot imagine. The Eucharist does not signify finally feeling at home. It binds the believer into a body he or she does not get to curate. The migrant in the detention cell is in that body. The bishops are in it. The pope is in it. The childless woman (with or without a cat) in the back pew is in it. To receive the sacrament is to be connected to all of them, which is why the church keeps insisting, against every national and tribal instinct, that its teaching on the stranger is not a platitude. It is the corporate body examining its own wounds.' https://t.co/8sMEAOUckS
James Madison insisted that our bicameral Congress is America’s “preeminent” branch of government—not the president, whose primary job is to “take Care” to faithfully execute our laws, and the Supreme Court whose job is to say what the law is. I wrote in @thenation about the nonsense of “co-equal” branches and how we must advance the voting rights of the people and restore decisive power to our elected representatives in Congress. https://t.co/7XMSE90H1W
@PaulRudnickNY@NotHoodlum There’s a whole lot of ignorant conservative influencers who hold that same view about Helen Keller. The record shows Mark Twain met her and vouched for her. But these dumbasses focus on her belief in socialism and pronounce her a fraud.
